Rare. 'Taxa with small world populations that are not at present Endangered or Vulnerable, but are at risk.

Page 3 - Taxa with small world populations that are not at present Endangered or Vulnerable, but are at risk.

Vulnerable (V) Taxa believed likely to move into the Endangered category in the near future if the causal factors continue operating.

Page 3 - Endangered' and 'Vulnerable' categories may include, temporarily, taxa whose populations are beginning to recover as a result of remedial action, but whose recovery is insufficient to justify their transfer to another category. RARE (R) Taxa with small world populations that are not at present 'Endangered' or 'Vulnerable', but are at risk.

Page 3 - Taxa formerly included in one of the above categories, but which are now considered relatively secure because effective conservation measures have been taken or the previous threat to their survival has been removed.

Page 3 - ... and whose survival is unlikely if the causal factors continue operating. Included are taxa whose numbers have been reduced to a critical level or whose habitats have been so drastically reduced that they are deemed to be in immediate danger of extinction. Also included are taxa that may be extinct but have definitely been seen in the wild in the past 50 years.
